Replacing tie-rods after getting the new ones discussed here elsewhere.
Working on the first one on driver's side- when turning the castellated nut on top the whole thing turns. Thought about trying to put some pressure on the shaft with vise grips but the shaft and nut still turn as a unit... Any ideas? I'm stuck before I've almost gotten started! |

This is becoming quite the project... got the first one off but couldn't back the bolt out of the inner part so unscrewed it from the rack. I'm not putting the turbo tie rods on this car but rather the OEM type so was hoping not to remove the fitting from the rack itself.
The bolt seems to be stripped as it turns but obviously bent the U shaped fitting as noted in the picture. And it won't back out! Looks like a trip to Lowes to get a Dremel or hacksaw and some new 10mm bolts for the new tie-rod... |
